Labor Rates Subtask

Use this subtask to enter labor rates applicable to the contract.

If you answered T&M in the Is this a Time & Materials or Fixed Price Contract? field on the Contract Info tab, use the Labor Rates subtask to enter the schedule of negotiated rates for the contract.

You can manually enter project labor categories (PLCs) with which the labor rates will be associated. You can also use the Load Opp PLC button to have Costpoint automatically populate the table window with the PLCs associated with the opportunity linked to the contract.

The combination of General Services Administration (GSA) labor category, PLC, PLC description, general labor category (GLC), and GLC description for a labor rate must be unique in a given date range or schedule. Their combination can be duplicated only for different date ranges.
